17:12 Ffos Las Tips — Tuesday 21st April 2026

Our attention turns to the 17:12 Ffos Las Hurdle on Good ground, where we’re making a confident call for DASSIE HAZE to deliver the goods. Trained by Phillip Dando and ridden by Ellis Collier, this gelding comes into the race in fantastic form, crucially ticking our key trend: 'Won last time out'. That recent victory off an OR of 94 was a career-best performance, showing real guts and determination, and he looked like a horse still firmly on the upgrade.

The market has rightly installed him as the EVS favourite, and it’s easy to see why. His previous form (7473-4761) also suggests he’s been knocking on the door before that breakthrough win, indicating consistency. He looks incredibly well-handicapped to follow up, and Dando’s horses are often primed to repeat when hitting their stride. On what should be suitable ground, he has everything in his favour to double his tally. We’re expecting a bold front-running display or to stalk the pace effectively before striking.

For those looking for an each-way angle, SMILE BACK could offer some decent value to hit the frame. However, Dessie Haze is our strong play to land the winner’s enclosure.
